The German Journal Drug Research in 1999 found out that Caraway, when blended with Peppermint oil, may relieve the discomfort of indigestion. It can also be used concomitantly with the drug Cisapride.

Caraway essential oil helps lower cholesterol, normalize heart beat, prevent hypertension, protect the cardiac muscles, arteries and veins. Caraway oil has distinct properties that can enhance urinary output which is beneficial for people who are hypertensive, obese, and those with kidney stones and gouty arthritis. Because Caraway oil has antibacterial and antifungal properties, it can be used effectively in the treatment of infections affecting the respiratory, digestive, excretory and urinary systems.

Here are some other ways Caraway oil can be used- as a cream, vapor or diluted:

Follow these simple steps: You may add some of the essential oil into your bath or mix it with a carrier oil and use for massage. It is always safer to use a mild carrier oil so as not to cause adverse reaction on the skin. Caraway essential oil can be mixed with your favorite shampoo, conditioner, cream, or lotion to treat minor skin problems and dandruff.

To decongest nasal mucus, you can put a small amount in a diffuser and inhale. This would also help in relieving indigestion and nerve pain.

Caraway oil can be combined with Coriander, Basil, Chamomile, Frankincense, Orange, Lavender, and Ginger. Keep in mind that natural essential oils are extremely potent liquids so make sure you mix proper carrier oils with them.
